British Science Week in Liverpool

British Science Week starts on the 9th March and is organised by the British Science Association and is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) with entertaining and absorbing events and activities across the country.

British Science Week offers a stage to inspire and support teachers, STEM professionals, science communicators and the public to create and take part in STEM events and activities.

Organising an event or activity is easy, and anyone can do it, from schools and community groups to parents or large organisations and the British Science Association will help you plan by providing free activity and support resources.

To celebrate British Science Week, the zoo’s team of experts are organising loads of events and activities throughout the week for visiting schools, giving free pop-up science demos with equipment and artefacts to show how we use science on a day to day basis in the zoo. There are also science workshops that can be added to your stay for £28 per session.

During Liverpool Hope University’s celebrations, the Faculty of Science are holding a number of enthralling and engaging events and activities for people of all ages.

Having fun while learning is a key theme at Hope’s British Science Week jamboree, so throughout the week, academics will teach pupils from schools and colleges about nutrition, artificial intelligence, VR, psychology, and dune ecology.
